Growing unbearable allergies

[Cat8888]

Please could someone shed some light or help.  I am going to give all the info I can here so please bear with me....I am a 34yr old woman, who at 19 was diagnosed with idiopathic Thrombocytopenia an auto immune disease which was thankfully treated with steriods.  I kept well up until the age of 28 when suddenly my skin erupted, unbearable itching, flushing, and this would leave me covered in eczema (which I had as a child), my skin was like crepe paper.  I was told I had Atopic eczema and sent away with steroid cream, bathing solutions etc, but it continued.  Then 2 yrs later pain started so much so I thought I was having a heart attack - then was diagnosed with gallstones and consequestly had my gall bladder removed.  The pathologist said it was the worse case he had ever seen in someone of my age.  My skin condition continued until I got so depressed I was sent to the allergy clinic.  I had 'floating stools' (sorry for the detail) and have always suffered with IBS and bloating ans occasional episodes of diarrhea.  I was diagnosed with a wheat allergy and told I was allergic to some meats.  These are chicken and pork.   Tehy also did a blood test and told me I was a 'very allergic person'.   My skin did improve - not perfect but I was far happier and could cope.  However it has all started again, horrendously dry skin, episodes of flushing and hot skin, itching and rashes.  I was always 10st until I hit 28 now at 34 I am 13 stone! Although I always watch what I eat. I feel depressed after these episodes am left exhausted.  I have no energy like I used to and at times feel 80!   I have read loads of things trying to find the answer, but never feel I am taken seriously.  Could this be linked to auto immune problems?  My lack of gallbladder? My pancreas or liver.  I am desperate, I am single and hardly go out because I am conscious of my skin, I can not eat out because of my allergies I am miserable and feel there is no end to this.  Any information or help would be so appreciated.  Thanks

You are having autoimmune reactions. Long-term prednisolone therapy might be needed, but under the supervision of a physician.  Eat healthy food and exercise daily. That helps the best.

They think they have found it!
I have a condition called Salicylate poisoning!

Thanks for your advice - I will certainy look into it.  To top it all I have now been diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in my feet and hands which explains pain which I have been getting!
Goodness knows what is going on - I think I need a body transplant!

you are probably allergic to more food then you know-my father in law was taking embrel ad still had problems .he recently cut out the breads,dairy products,tomatoe sauces,alcohol. he soaks in water softner with seasalts. you body appears to be very acidic. get some ph strips to check your acidity and start eliminating the acidic foods and increase the more alkiline foods. you can find this by searching alkaline foods on the net. his skin has never been more clear. once you find the foods that are causing this you probably will have to avoid them for good . also increase your daily water consuption to atleast 3 bottles aday.
